The Wizards are gonna lose tonight, so after we beat them tomorrow we'll all be tied again.

This game is frustrating. Detroit is better opponent for philly than Orlando, but I'd rather play Clev if possible.

The Raptors take over the sixth seed. It won't change anything if we come up with a win against Washington. Besides I really doubt that we will beat them. At the moment, we are not playing good basketball.

Wille Green should quit basketball forever

Am I the only one wondering why we took out Thad with 2 minutes left after he brought us back to 11? It's not necessarily garbage time yet.

i guess the sixers would have to test there shooting in the playoff.

Well, thats what happens when Willie, Rodney, and Lou combine for 13% shooting (5/37)... horrible effort... costly loss.

How can the crowd cheer when Green, Carney and Lou Williams combined for 5-36 shooting, which is under 14% from the field, lol. They shot a combined 0-10 from 3 point range, while losing their last 3 of 4 games at home. This team has no home court advantage. Carney does not take 1 foul shot the entire game, while Green misses 4 foul shots.

Basically, Danny Granger, single handedly beat the entire 76ers team alone. We saw Kevin Ollie in the game foir the people with cameras. That was a thrilling moment. In case anybody has not noticed, size does matter. Oh my God,the Orlando Magic are a big team. I guess the Wizards are waiting for us.

In the crazy wacky world of Willie Green, who knows what this butterfingered shooter will do tomorrow. Willie, I suggest you and the entire team drink Red Bull before the game tomorrow night. Rodney Carney needs to play in a league where all players are 6ft 6" and smaller. It always seems the other team scores when Carney misses a shot. Ed, I think you need to stay up tonight and look at more film of players in the draft.

Thad Young... hands down the only positive tonight.

This loss pretty much means 7th seed for the Sixers considering Toronto's remaining schedule (and 2-3 of their last recent games) are a freaking joke.

Not saying that is a bad thing because I wasn't necessarily looking forward to Dwight Howard eating this team and getting threes rained down on them.

Call me crazy but I still think they have a better chance against the Pistons.

They only scored 85 points. The defense was fine, the offense was absent.

This is the absolute worst I have seen them play on offense. All we can hope for is that it blows over and they turn it around before playoff time.

I don't know. He had four turnovers and shot 1-5 on FT.
But I guess he did ok.
I liked what I saw from Sammy, very good rebounding and good defense on JO.
It was the shooting from wide range that was not that good, if I may say so...

I thought the Pacers (outside of Granger) played poorly. They only shot 7 for 27 from three- which would normally cost them the game.

The Sixers looked like a middle school team out there. I have seen enough of them this year to doubt it was from a lack of effort. If anything, I think they are trying too hard, and its showing with mistakes oon the floor.

I think the Sixers have started to tighten up big time since qualifying for the playoffs and climbing to the 5th seed. To be blunt, they are sort of choking out there- looking like the young team they are.

How else to explain the sudden mistakes on the break, the bad FT shooting, all of the missed and forced jumpers? When they are playing loose they are great on the break and hit shots.

Tonight every shot (3p, 17 ft, FT, layup) looked bad out of their hands. They were pulling the string.

They need to recapture the joy and attitude that propelled them on this run- or the playoffs will be ugly. I'm really pulling for them to bounce back against the Wizards and recapture their carefree, attacking style of play that got them this far.

Geez. I just got back from the phillies game. Made the mistake of checking the score. I'm not even sure I WANT to watch the tivo of this. Scary stuff.

I'll probably end up watching it just for Thad's performance.

Ummm, I'd be ready to FF or avert your eyes. Even Thad had his ups and downs. I'll give the kid credit for being extremely active- and he was able to get a bunch of easy baskets and open jumpers- but he didn't llook great out there.
